Sheena - Netflix

Editor

Orphaned at a young age by tragedy in the jungle, Sheena was raised
by the last living member of a native tribe, the Kaya, who possessed the
mystical power to "shape shift" into the forms of wild animals by
feeding the spirit of their soul. It's a gift shared by Sheena, who can
turn herself into an animal and travel through the jungle unrecognized
while battling outside forces that invade La Mistas, her primal home.

Sheena - Sheena Bora murder case - Netflix

Sheena Bora, an executive working for Mumbai Metro One based in Mumbai,
went missing on 24 April 2012. In August 2015 Mumbai Police arrested her
mother Indrani Mukerjea, her stepfather Sanjeev Khanna, and her mother's
driver, Shyamvar Pinturam Rai, for allegedly abducting and killing her
and subsequently burning her corpse. Khanna and Rai confessed to the
crime, and Mukerjea has said that Sheena Bora is living in the United
States.

Four months before her arrest, Mumbai police commenced surveillance of
Indrani. The surveillance was initiated after a tip-off. Shyamvar
Pinturam Rai, Indrani's driver, was arrested on 21 August 2015 for
possession of illegal weapons and it was alleged that, during his
interrogation, he revealed details of Sheena Bora's murder. On 26 August
2015, Sheena's brother Mikhail revealed that she was Indrani's daughter
rather than sister. Quoting the First Information Report filed by Mumbai
police, the Hindustan Times reported that Rai had given a detailed
account of the murder to police. It was Rai's allegation that Indrani
had planned it and had discussed it with her ex-husband, Sanjeev Khanna.
He alleged that Indrani had surveyed a likely area to dump the body the
evening before the murder. On 24 April 2012, Khanna had flown to Mumbai
and checked into the Hotel Hilltop at Worli. Rai alleged that Indrani
had rented an Opel Corsa to facilitate abduction of Sheena and for
disposal of her body. Indrani, he claimed, had earlier asked Sheena to
meet her on the evening of 24 April 2012 and, though reluctant, she had
agreed. At about 1800 hours on 24 April 2012, he went on, Indrani was
joined by her ex-husband at his hotel in Worli. An hour later, when
Sheena was dropped off by Rahul Mukerjea near National College on
Linking Road in Bandra, Indrani, Sanjeev and driver Rai were there to
meet her. Rai's account continued, alleging that Indrani sat next to him
while Sheena was in the rear seat with Khanna. He said they took her to
one of the by-lanes in Bandra and Khanna strangled her. The police
claimed that, after the murder, Sheena's body was taken to Indrani's
house on Worli where it was put in a bag and stuffed in the trunk of the
car. Rai alleged that Khanna later left for his hotel while Indrani
stayed home and Rai slept inside the car with the body in the trunk. In
the early hours of 25 April 2012, he said, the three accused drove to
the village of Gagode in Pen tehsil, Raigad. Concerned about the
possibility of police checks, they propped Sheena's body up between
Indrani and Khanna on the rear seat, as if asleep, rather than putting
it in the boot. At 0400 hours on 25 April 2012, police alleged, they
dragged the body out of the car in an isolated spot in the forest,
stuffed it back into the bag, poured petrol over it and set it ablaze.
After the body was completely burnt, the accused returned to Mumbai.
Khanna left Mumbai later that day.
